Burgundian chateau hideaway
Fallow deer graze across eight hectares of parkland, while guests sip Burgundy wines beside the limestone fireplace in the former hunting lodge.
“Every piece of furniture from the room to the bar is an antique, the wallpaper in every room is practically an art piece.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
This 16th-century landmark is set on a wooded English-style park on the banks of the Canal de Bourgogne, just outside the village of Sainte-Sabine.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Quiet country lanes and Burgundy Canal towpaths wind directly from the gates toward the medieval hilltop fortress of Châteauneuf.
The rooms
High ceilings frame exposed oak beams and antique furniture, while the signature Suite Salle des Gardes hides a claw-foot tub behind timber paneling.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers line the heated outdoor pool, which sits framed by trees and a vegetated pool-house terrace.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant Lassey
Arched windows look out across the park toward Châteauneuf fortress. Dishes draw on seasonal Burgundian produce and garden herbs.
At the table
The cocktail lounge pours local Burgundy wines and spirits beneath exposed timber beams and a brass chandelier.
How it began
Built between 1581 and 1625 over an eleventh-century monastery, the Renaissance château gained its distinctive neo-Louis XIII gates during nineteenth-century restorations.
